The best dining experience in Portrush. Great service. Seaside views. Amazing food and wine. The Camembert cheese was amazing. My friend ordered the sticky toffee pudding for dessert and it was very decadent. I only had a taste of it as I am not a sweets person but it was very good. So glad we got to have the lobster. It had some amazing savory lemon and Parmesan crumbing on top. Plenty to share. This was a wonderful dining experience!

Ground has been serving up coffee, tea, panninis and soup in Coleraine for about 10 years. It was…read morea popular spot long before Starbucks hit Northern Ireland and even though the two seem to co-exist nicely, I still feel a sense of loyalty to Ground and pop in quite often. The interior of Ground is well thought out, with the maximum number of seats without making the space feel crowded. The high bar along the window is a particularly good idea and you can people watch while you eat and drink. Ground is popular for breakfast/brunch and lunch, as well as morning and afternoon tea. So that's all day then really. Breakfasts include bagels, croissants and muffins and Ground has a reputation for serving up really good coffee. As a non coffee drinking freak, I can't vouch for that but I can tell you that the coffee smells good. More substantial meals include panninis - chicken, cheese and sweet chilli being my personal fav - and home made soups like pea and ham and curried parsnip. Yum. A chiller holds loads of sandwiches for the take away crowd too. Prices are average for an upmarket coffee venue, at around £1.80 for a muffin and £4.50 for a pannini. Not bad value in these thrifty times.

Newbridge Restaurant sits just off a roundabout, and my friend and I had been sightseeing in Northern Ireland, and we were STARVED, after a hard cold day. We saw it in passing, and went back around the roundabout because it was 7 hours since breakfast and were dropping from starvation. The interior was equally inviting, and warm!! The building is inviting, no doubt about it, and the car park pleasantly full, so you knew it could be decent food. The menu was 2 courses for 12 Pounds, which a lot of UK/Irish places feature, and i had expected there's be a limited menu, but such was not the case - it was fairly extensive, and even had specials. I got Spicy Pear and Parsnip Soup with homemade wheaten bread to start, she got Portobello Mushroom with Blue Cheese, Rocket, Sunblush Tomatoes, Red Onion, Parmesan and Balsamic. I have to say this soup was an absolute delight, and i congratulate the use of the humble (Yet hard to find a decent one in Alaska) parsnip, it was superb, with a kick of heat to elevate it. Just a touch of sweetness from the pear, but it was sublime. The wheaten bread, used extensively throughout Irish restaurants was delicious and hearty, and a perfect accompaniment to the creamy thick soup. She adored her gigantic portobello, which was full of cheesy goodness. For our entrees, i selected the Italian Chicken which was a butterflied breast, topped with Parma ham wrapped around Brie, and a rocket salad with balsamic, she went for the Wild Mushroom Linguine, which was drizzled with truffle oil. I must say, it was different than anything I've had before, the cheese with the Parma ham was a really delicious enhancement, to the chicken which can sometimes be bland, but not on this occasion. The rocket and balsamic were beautiful. She couldn't finish her linguine - pasta can be filling i find, she did enjoy the selection of mushrooms. Despite the fact that the prix fixe was 2 for 12 pounds, we opted to get a dessert regardless. Just because we'd earned it, with some hard walking that day. She got a chocolate brownie with fudge sauce, and whipped cream, and i got a banana sundae that i simply could not finish. All in all, it was a delicious meal.

Nine Months…read more That's how long it's taken for me to find a steak and service here in Northern Ireland comparable, or even better than the steak I ate and southern hospitality service I experienced for 7.5 years in Texas... and I found it here at The Newbridge. So we were in Portrush for the day, heading to Belfast to drop my brother off at the bus and I mention I'm hungry, its dinner time, we should stop somewhere. Going on no other information than the car park was packed, we hung a u-turn and pulled in. No reservation, Friday night, packed car park, I expected to be told to sling my hook, or wait 40 minutes for a table, but the nice host even helped find a threenager appropriate table upstairs for us to sit at, no wait - excellent first impression. The blonde dude upstairs (I didn't catch his name) got us sorted with drinks quickly, order in, starters came out in good time. Col enjoyed the black pudding scotch egg, my brother, threenager and I enjoyed the garlic cheese ciabatta. But the mains were the moneyshot. Col had the shredded duck w/ sweet potato fries, brother had the beef chili penne w/ salt and chili chips, threenager had the chicken penne carbonara and I had the fillet steak w/ chips and veggies for the table. I. can't. even. On how good this food was. My steak was cooked to perfection - exactly the way I asked (which, as it turns out, has been difficult for NI chefs to accomplish to date), and not an ounce of fat to be seen! My brothers chili wasn't a traditional chili as you'd expect, it had a sweet chili element to it, but it was delicious, that and his salt and chili chips packed a hot punch, but he loved it. Cols duck was tasty and plentiful and the threenager splatter-painted the entire top floor of the restaurant with carbonara sauce while gleefully shouting "mmmmm delicious!" I really wanted to try dessert, but told blonde dude (sorry, blonde dude, I wish I'd asked your name but by the end of the meal felt it was rude to be all "here bai what's yer name?") I was in a rush, he told me I could get it to go - so I ordered salted caramel cheesecake, cause I thought it'd be easiest to eat on my knee. Confession time: I *may* have acquired one of y'all's forks to take with me so I could eat my dessert on the way to the train station. But rest assured I'll get it back to you - promise! With that said, the cheesecake was devoured on my knee. We all thought it was delicious. Not a single bad thing to say about this place, from easy and plentiful parking, to the absolute nicest staff in any restaurant in the north I've been in in my nine months being back home, to the most delicious steak I've had in a long time and incredibly well priced too! I now need a nap...And to plan a re-visit before our next expat adventure begins! Check this place out for sure!!

I have to agree with much of what Christopher S has said about this place in his review. The most…read moreannoying thing I found here is on a fairly cold morning is that the place was bloody cold and uncomfortable to sit in, and this was exacerbated by the fact that the air conditioning was on. The kindest way to describe my server is dopey, yet polite. Maybe he was to cold to concentrate. OK it was 9am on a cold morning but I'd driven two hours to be here, the least he could do is to be a tad attentive to what I was saying to him. My order was simple; pancakes & sausage with butter and not that awful pretend 'maple syrup' pot which in reality is a really huge portion of liquified sugar, in fact nearly 9 teaspoons alone. Yes read it and weep: nearly 9 teaspoons of liquified sugar in a tiny plastic pot. Just call your liver Tate & Lyle. A liver is the body's chemical processing plant that performs over 500 different functions and it doesn't need poisoned to this extent. I got 3 pancakes, a hash brown and a pork burger and yes I know it's often overly fatty, overly sugared food but the pancakes and the meat are tasty enough and the pancakes don't need any more added sugar. So when I sat down I found I had no knife & fork and no butter and he hadn't automatically added the sugar syrup pot either. So back to the counter for the plastic cutlery, some butter and a fulsome apology. It's worth saying that the latte was pleasant enough and the price made it good value, so that puts it at three stars. Pity it was like an igloo with semi detached staff. Mind you, I have sympathy with those who get out of bed for minimum wages for global corporations that could easily double staff wages and turn on heat for a while and hardly notice.

Even my back bacon was burnt, yet that was the best part of the breakfast. The maple "flavored" syrup was not good either. Since you order at the counter, and don't have a waitress to discuss your food quality with, you don't have a normal way to ask for your food to be remade like you would at a normal diner in the U.S. I don't like the order at the counter setup unless it's a fast food restaurant and I typically avoid those. Overall a big vacation breakfast let down. I wish I would have went to Awaken, like I was originally intending on doing.
